Cyclists and walkers

A group of tourists started at 8:00 at a speed of 4 km/h walk. At half-past ten, another group started on a bike and caught up with a group of tourists at 10:50. What was the average speed of cyclists?

Correct answer:

v2 =  8.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=4 km/h t3=10:50=10 hr 50 min =10+6050=10.8333 hr10.8333 t1=t38.00=6658.00=6172.8333 h t2=t3(9+30/60)=665(9+30/60)=341.3333 h  s1=s2 v1 t1 = v2 t2  v2=v1 t2t1=4 34617=217 km/h=8.5 km/h
